5yo Gelding BRUTUS (Rubick – Harvest Queen) underscored the fact that he was extremely unlucky running 2nd at his his last start, getting squeezed at the jump and then running into traffic problems in the run home, when leading all the way in the Class 4 1200m Turf at Singapore’s Kranji racecourse today
Beautifully ridden by Te Akau Racing apprentice Jerlyn Seow, Brutus went to the lead, got the rail, was niggled at in the run by the runner on the outside, looked as if the swoopers might get to him in the run home, but was too strong at the line.

Trainer, Mark Walker, was a satisfied man post race “Lovely ride by Jerlyn, it was the winning of the race – talented galloper this fellow.”
Fortuna Director, John Galvin, watching from his home in New Zealand, was over the moon ”Brutus was very unlucky last start, getting no luck in the running. Away well today, he was given a heady ride by Jerlyn and delivered a great result for us. Congrats to Trainer, Mark Walker and his team, Mark is a trainer at the top of his game and Brutus was his 17th winner for the Fortuna Team in Singapore in 2021 .”
